The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the university rather than merely printing the news and sharing it. Universal University, to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be curious; to solve problems to wiser heads, in all, to understand the students of the University.

SIGHTSEEING AT HOME
—Smollett.
Most persons who read the article in the Daily Kansan yesterday about historic places in Lawrence never had heard of them before. This only illustrates again that trait which drags hundreds of persons over to Europe to rave over a crumbling rock where some legendary ancient is said to have trod while Yankee shirms go begging.
This is a universal failing. Let a cat have a big juicy piece of meat and then place a dry bone a few feet away and the cat will leave the perfectly good feast for the bone.
That is the way with the human species. He will mortgage his property, study guide books for days, then rush by historic places in his own town. Around the famous sites at Lexington and Concord, children play whoily ignorant of the epoch-making scenes which once took place there. The important part Lawrence played in solving the slave problem is unheeded as we hurry over the ground where martyr blood was shed.
THE NEW EDUCATION
Harvard University rejected the petitions of fifteen women graduates of Vassar, Barnard, Radcliffe, Wellesley, and Bryn Mawr who recently wished to be admitted to the Harvard Law School on the same terms with men. Three-fourths of the American Association of Law Schools admit women—but not Harvard. A majority of the members of the Harvard Corporation are opposed to women's suffrage, and one of them, it is said, disapproves of higher education for women.
Put all of these facts together and then reflect upon the alleged freedom of thought in American universities. Wonderful isn't it? Dr. Elliott's new religion could be used very well at home, it would seem.
A TIP FOR STUDENTS
Students who take pleasure in detecting the significance of current events, and who like to peek beneath the superficial narratives of the day's news will find the "New Republic" to their liking.
It is a weekly magazine now running in its third volume, but it doesn't seem to have come to the attention of librarians. It isn't written for fossils and men whose opinions were cast for them in the middle ages. Reading it is a kind of mental tennis game. You'll return its serves in orthodox form and the chances are that you
lose, but then you get the experience which is the thing after all. It is as stimulating as a cold bath.
These cool winds are one of the best bracers obtainable. They excel the stimulants offered by the metropolis to the east in every way. They cost nothing and the penalty of the morning after is escaped. It is a fact that these changes of weather are beneficial.
Dr. Ellsworth Huntington of Yale defends fickle Nature thus: "We say bad things about our storms; we are loud in our defaimation of the changeableness of the weather in the Eastern United States. In spite of this constant deprétation, every time that a storm passes over a region and is followed by cooler weather, people's efficiency is increased."
The Journal of the American Medical Association comes to Dr. Huntington's support. "We are inclined to think of an unvarying temperature as good for health and strength, but apparently it is not," the editor says. "Weather variations are distinctly好 for us and for our efficiency."
Bring on exams, we'll take 'em two at a time if the weather man keeps this up.
Chasing the Glooms
Someone, burdened with the cares or idleness, has figured out that霉leftel wrote a letter, every ten minutes. Consider this output, this is quite an achievement.
In taking both places in the 100- yard dash, Missouri was rather audashius.
The paper says that a Pennsylvania game was saved then won, which is contrary to the usual method of winning and then spending.
Dick Small lives down his name in an excellent way by contributing to the student loan fund.
Charles F. Scott is to speak concerning the "Succor of a Nation," One born every minute, Mr. Scott?
The question, "What Is Logic About?" might be answered briefly as much ado about nothing.
That stat of the Harvard seniors who each spring beg the freshmen to contribute to the fund for their class picnic is real crusty. Paddle frosh all year and then 'bleed' em.

Professor Tyresum writes as follows: "I fail to note among your list of interesting spots in Lawrence the name of New Jersey street. I might also say that a ten-spot counts as much with me as a historic spot."
Someone mentions a bird diet consisting of fourteen feet of worms daily. This is even worse than the spring boarding house menu.
James McNaught was by no means a cipher in the dance of the winds Friday.
It was "Mothers' Day" at one of the houses here at Lawrence, and all the fond parents from city, village, and town were there to be entertained and "shown off" by their daughters. It was a most novel experience to the girls of the district not a little shocking to a few of the proper dames.
A call for Mr. Diogues. An umbrella stood in a corridor at Drake several hours while several students sat inside until the rain slackened.
HE WHOM A DREAM HATH POSSEST
Pandora's Box
He whom a dream hath possessed know-
eth no more of doubting,
At the table Mrs. Perryton was in the midst of an animated conversation with the house mother on the all-absorbing topic of the war, thinking about the battle but not saying so. Further, for a loud blare of sound drowned out her next words.

For example, the word 'windes'

Dazed, she looked around to see whence this burst of melody had arisen. What was her surprise and horror to find that it emanated from the girls themselves. But of course, her daughter knew it and was accustomed to know that such demonstrations of vocal ability and throat gymnastics were highly improper at

All roads and the flowing of waves are known. But she knows his feet are set, his soul is forever homing, and going, he comes and comes he walks with her. He whom a dream hath posset know, At death and the dropping of leaves and the fading of suns he smiles, For a dream that seems the desire of a morrow, so scorns the desire of a morrow, surely the ultimate lales. He whom a dream hath posset treads From the dust of the day's long road He leaps to a laughing star. And he sees the star in views from eternal arches. And he sees in a flashing and gold sheet.
the table. She looked fondly down at Sallie, and then gasped. Sallie was shinging most animately, and she stared into her eyes with guilt upon her innocent features.
Mrs. Perryton folded her hands primly, resolved to live through the one song, then speak to her daughter concerning this great breach of impropriety. The song ended, and she turned sternly to Sallie. Before her reprimand was begun, however, from the other end of the table another burst of noise arose, Sallie joined in promptly with the rest.
The mother was decidedly shocked and grieved. After lunchchom Sallie was secluded properly, and no amount of argument on her part could convince her mother that it all was right to sing between courses. Mrs. Perryton went home thinking that she was the most unaccomplished woman, with a most unacivilized place, in spite of the fact that her daughter Sallie was a member.
WALKS TOO SLIPPERY
Editor Daily Kansan:
Why is it in a town of fourteen thousand inhabitants they do not have walks on which a person may safely venture forth on? The walk on Adams street from Louisiana to Ohio goes through city and a disgrace to the University.
The worst feature about it is that it is as slippery in May as it is in December when it is covered with ice. If the city would take steps to have it fixed so that a person might walk down it with some degree of safety it might be safe for people who walk up and down the south side of Adams two or three times daily.
Slipped and Fallen
While it is exceedingly difficult for the outsider to form any just estimate of the actual situation in Italy, there are unmistakable indications that the present crisis is more real and less a result of stage management than those of preceding months. The fact seems to be that the people who have taken the question peace or was out of the hands of their statemen.
Dalmatian coast and into the Near East. We shall do well to remember this now, when Italian statesmen will be playing a less attractive role.
THE ITALIAN CRISIS
Glimpses of Significant Events
LOOKING FROM THE CLOISTER'S SHADOW
Once Italy had declined German bribes she had to meet equally attractive offers from the other side. Albania, the Dalmatian Islands, Austria's Italian provinces, a share in the apolls of Turkey and a guarantee for her African co'ones, these things the Allies could offer.
Italian statesmanship in August, 1914, had to make a hard and hazardous decision in withdrawing support from the Triple Alliance. It made the decision before the Battle of Marne, and it did not succeed when Napoleon seemed certain to fall and a second French disaster as complete as 1870 seemed inevitable. In that time, too, Italy declined German bribes of no inconsiderable size. Savoy, Nice, Corsica, Algeria, Tunis, these French provinces or colonies the Central European alliance offered for Italian support, and then it turned that Italian ambition had long been turned in this direction.
So far Italy played a truly noble role. She took actual risks. Austro-German victory, if it were not followed by attack upon Italy, would mean Austrian supremacy in Europe and end of the dream of the Irredeistists, the collapse of the newer Italian longing to follow the splendid pathway of Venice down the
But Italy once more declined. From Austria she asked certain things. They were not unjust, these Italian demands. That is, not without justification, since they concerned Italian speaking communities for the larger part, however impossible it was for Austria to yield in certain instances. In asking them Italy simply sought the mark of Garibaldi and Cavour. She said that it had the price of neutrality. She asked Italian territory, excluded from her own boundaries by accident and misfortune, not by right.
To judge from the progress of negotiations, Austria under the spur of Germany, has little by little consented to cessions. She has been willing to give something, but she has neither granted the half of Italian demands nor agreed to make any concessions under conditions which would satisfy the Italians. Rather she has adopted the method of Bismarck, who dangled Napoleon III and the French from Napoléon III until he had finished with Austria at Sadow, and then snatched away the proffered reward for French neutrality.
This is the story of the diplomatic incidents in recent months. But as diplomacy has lagged national spirit has revived. The anniversary of the sailing of "The Thousand" for Marsala has naturally turned Italian thought to the method of the Great Liberator, who despised diplomacy—the diplomacy that gave his birth-place to another nation—and relied upon his sword and the will of the people to whom he appealed.
And now Garibaldi's Italy seems reappearing under our eyes. The people in the streets are shouting for war, for a war of liberation, as they did when there was Venice to be redeemed and Austria intruders still
dominated the land from the Po to the Alps. To his spirit diplomats and statesmen must ultimately yield. The Italian situation may still be misunderstood by foreign observers, but unless all signs fail a people are forcing besitating statesmen and a reluctant King into a war which the nation desires. At the very least, the Berlin comment discloses an apprehension not before discovered in Germany—New York Tribune.
